anyhow started off at 20 with a Goodwood Green 1995 UK GT-Tbar, car really was mint full leather, beautiful colour!
was happy and content with my nice fast 170hp Rev 3.
.until a mate let me drive his rev 2 tubby.
suddenly mine wasn't so fast, so the time came at 21 when i sold up and moved to a rev 2 tubby!
paint needed a bit of TLC but otherwise it was sound.
so a few 1/4 Miles were done love the speed of the car! On my final run i lined up against an airfix Fiesta on spinners.
Mid run the car developed a misfire so i backed off and still beat him.
By this time the car was stuttering quite badly so i retired home to assess the damage.the result was a cracked ringland and blown headgasket.
so off it went to the garage for a full engine rebuild.
£1700 and 2 months later i was back on the road running it in.one dark January night i was heading to a local pub for a jap car meet when yet again i developed running problems.
After spending £1k + my heart sank. I limped to the pub and had a good time.Home time came and i left with 2 friends in convoy, evo in front, supra behind.
after driving no more than 6 miles it wouldn't boost are started to cut out everytime i touched the accelerator. Coasting to a stop in a lay by on the motorway i had a quick look and couldn't see anything. So decided to limp home. So again in convoy we pulled out and started to make our way home, by now it was raining and i couldn't do more than 15
- 20 mph at most.As i moved to change into 3rd gear i was hit from behind with such force i thought i had be shunted by a lorry doing 60.
The impact killed the engine dead along with the electrics, i was propelled to near motorway speeds due to the impact.
So i turned, smashed up the kerb through the stone trap into some bushes.aside from a sore head where it hit the wheel, sore neck from belt burns and a dislocated shoulder i was very lucky indeed.
Turns out someone
"didn't see" the big silver supra behind me, swerved to avoid and managed to spin and hit me.... 
poor car!
at least i didnt have to spend more money finding out what the rattle was behind the dash
I decided that i would move away from MR2s so drove some 200sx's Pulsar GTiRs and a few hondas but they all lacked the feel and fun factor.
so at the ripe old age of 24
i got another MR2 lol
tbc.
